  1. You can pity sake all you like - the far right and far left are the same thing.
  2. If we view your two statements together: "if everyone just worked harder, we wouldn't need any of that." The developed world has been there, done that - it was called 'The Industrial Revolution.' Most of the population worked their asses off, and it got most of them absolutely nowhere. The rich simply got richer on the backs of the poor. Things are pretty messed up on the political right these days, and some us get the sense that they are working towards more of the above. Just my 0.02
  3. Citing the most extreme examples - very well done. Hint: The system that ruled Nazi Germany provided few if any opportunities to get out of poverty. Well - unless you include to killing (or planning to kill) the people of eastern Europe so Germans could take over their farms. For reference: lebensraum When you go the extremes - the right and the left are essentially the same.
  4. In rural areas you will often have pockets of small classes - 8 to 12 students. A 19.8 average means there are high numbers in the core areas - 30 to 45 students. Highschool teachers most often bear the brunt of that.
  5. Even though they are averaging 19.8 students per teacher in Ontario. http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/educationfacts.html
  6. It would be a daft party.
  7. I guess now Jennings can play duck & check without rattling off 15 second snap counts first.
  8. I wish you were right. If you were, something would have been done by now.
  9. Personally, I don’t believe any Canadian government is going to build a pipeline. Harper might have, but not any of the current leaders.
  10. I partly agree - but how was anyone going to save 100 000 jobs in Alberta?
  11. I thought that a few weeks ago - but it’s looking more and more like she’s just an ethical person. If she runs again as an independent, her constituents bloody well better vote her back in.
  12. Cameras can be lethal... A study found in a 7-year period, 259 people worldwide died while taking selfies. More than 70 percent were men, who researchers said took more risks to get a dramatic shot. Tech giants have promoted a culture of selfies and social media is full of daring photos taken at great risk. The rugged 277-mile-long Grand Canyon makes safety rails impossible in many areas. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/grand-canyon-tourist-falls-to-his-death-while-taking-photos-2019-03-29/
  13. She stays because the optics of Trudeau forcing her out would probably be the final nail in the Liberal coffin.
  14. Some pretty damning testimony has come to light today - the fall out / results will be interesting indeed...
  15. Which we will not compromise - just hold the bag till the commissioner gets back...
  16. If it’s going to be the Andrew Harris show again, they might as well start 7 nationals on O.
  17. In London: God Save our Gracious Goodell In TO: We Run on 4th Down for Thee
  18. Sounds like poor quality over cooked potatoes
  19. Could work if they bring some cheap American booze...
  20. So, he doesn't seem like a guy who could go the NFL route - might be a good pick if he's still there in the 2nd or 3rd round.
  21. Outstanding talent at a critical position - the years when we didn't have quality OTs can only be thought of as depressing.
  22. When I was 10 or so - he used the top of my head as a table to sign an autograph - very cool guy.
  23. A Canadian OT of Stanley Bryant's calibre, capable of locking down his position, there it might be warranted But we don't seem to see too many Canadian tackles anymore.
